Celebrate Pro Bono
Legal clinics & events planned for October 2012
In 2011, Tennessean lawyers helped 1,109 state residents by providing free legal advice throughout the month of October as part of the Tennessee Bar Association's Celebrate Pro Bono initiative.
Now in its fourth year, the initiative brings together bar associations, law schools, law firms, legal services providers and individual lawyers to offer free services to those unable to afford a lawyer. This year, we expect to have more than 300 volunteers - including lawyers, law students, paralegals and language interpreters -- participate in dozens of events and activities across the state.
Low-income Tennesseans also have another resource they can tap into at any time through OnlineTNJustice.org -- a joint project of the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services and the Tennessee Bar Association that matches individuals with volunteer attorneys. More than 250 lawyers have agreed to provide services through the website.
See the list below for a summary of events planned for October 2012.
(Though this list is updated regularly, please contact the sponsoring organization for more information and to confirm event details.)
